Word for 2014 Round-Up

With the advent of the new year comes all of those goals, changes, and hopes that things will somehow be different . . . better . . . in 2014. Rather than making “resolutions” that are impossible to keep, many people are finding inspiration in choosing one word to define all that they hope to acheive in the coming months.

Today, about 70 members of the Crew are taking time to share with your their reflections and inspiration for choosing a Word for 2014 that will hopefully guide them successfully throughout the year.

I trust that each heartfelt post will encourage you. So grab a cup of tea and spend a little time here with us today. And if you’ve chosen your own Word for 2014, leave us a comment. We want to share in your story as well.

While I find myself pleading with my Father to restore to me joy and to uphold my crushed spirit, he offers me even more than I can fathom. He offers me the gift of the restoration of seemingly lost opportunity.

My word for 2013 is PERSEVERE! Persevere means to continue doing something or trying to do something even though it is difficult. I think many homeschool moms will agree with me that being a stay at home/homeschool mom is not an EASY job. Add in life stresses like financial strains and health issues and it can make our job even harder.

Before writing this post, I performed a Google search looking for an answer to the following question, “What does a gentle heart look like?” I was hoping to find a map, per se, something written that would give me a sense of direction on how to go about training my heart to be gentle.

In the new year I need to focus not just on His word but on my own too. As the year progresses I pray and seek His wisdom and words in my life. The power of life and death is in the tongue,the words it speaks, I pray mine can glorify my Father this year, showing the salt and light I m called to be.
